@StevijoPayne Good for you, Stevie. Great to see your bravery shining like a light on the hatred that infects so many around us. I deeply admire you and wish I could be as comfortable doing the same.
Liz Cheney is absolutely correct in this: “Jim Jordan was involved in Trump's conspiracy to steal the election and seize power; he urged that Pence refuse to count lawful electoral votes. If Rs nominate Jordan to be Speaker, they will be abandoning the Constitution. They’ll lose the House majority and they’ll deserve to.”
MAGA House Republicans have a passed a bill that demands an extreme list of cuts to programs hardworking families rely on in exchange for the U.S. to pay its bills.
Here’s what you need to know.

From 27-30 December 2013 Sweden's Victor Sandberg played Atari's Missile Command for a straight 71 hours and 41 minutes on a single credit.
His high score of 103,809,990 (on level 10,432) was 10 points short of winning an additional 176 cities to defend.
BREAKING: Gun violence is actually worse in RED states and it’s not even close according to a new analysis.
Southern politicians, including Republican governors Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott, have blamed crime in Democratic-run cities like New York for being out of control.
However, statistics show that New York City region has the lowest rates of gun violence in the US mainland, while the southern swath of the country has the highest rates.
Those living in rural areas of South Carolina are more likely to die from gunshot wounds than those in equally rural areas of New York.
The highest rates of deadly gun violence occur in regions where Republicans have long dominated state governments.
“The Deep South is the most deadly of the large regions at 15.6 per 100,000 residents followed by Greater Appalachia at 13.5. Yankeedom is the next safest at 8.6, which is about half that of Deep South,” writes journalist Colin Woodard.
Maybe it’s time we take common sense Gun laws seriously?
It’s time to win the debate. Let’s expand background checks and pass an assault weapons ban.
Let’s curb ghost guns, ban high-capacity magazines, fight gun trafficking, and lengthen the review window for existing background checks.
We know the problem.
It’s the guns.
REMINDER: Dennis Hastert, the longest-serving Republican House speaker in history, was sent to prison for sexually abusing teenage boys.

As I detail in my forthcoming book, indeed the US Govt has been a major source of disinformation. But not from the HHS agencies. The disinformation is from Sen. Paul, Sen. Johnson, and outspoken members of the House Freedom Caucus, each amplified nightly by FoxNews anchors
BREAKING: Robert Reich reveals why Clarence Thomas may be in even MORE trouble than everything thinks.
Clarence Thomas not ONLY accepted free vacations and sold property without disclosing it.
THOMAS ALSO tried to KILL SCOTUS disclosure laws in his concurring opinion on the Citizens United decision.
Thomas insisted that SCOTUS should, “invalidate mandatory disclosure and reporting requirements.”
This opens Thomas up to ADDITIONAL scrutiny for DIRECT and PERSONAL conflict of interest.
“His actions drip with corruption,” Reich added.
IMPEACH CLARENCE THOMAS!!
“Harlan Crow made a $500,000 contribution to Ginni Thomas’ Liberty Central, which in turn paid her $120k a year salary! Clarence Thomas failed to disclose his wife’s income.”
